Childcare

You may be thinking about going back to school/college or work at some stage after your baby is born. This might be full-time or part-time depending on what you are interested in doing. One of the main concerns at this stage for you may be trying to decide who will care for your baby. This is an important decision no matter what age your baby might be. You need to be sure that your baby will get plenty of care and attention while you are away from them. For some parents it is fairly straightforward as they may have a family member who is more than willing to care for the baby. For other parents this might not be the case.

This section will look at what childcare options are available and give you information on the type of service to expect. It will hopefully give you some ideas on how to choose the type that is most suited to you and your baby’s needs. Having childcare that you are happy with, can make the challenge of returning to education or work a little bit easier.
